وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ ”الْقُرُونُ الَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثُ“
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which era is the best for the people?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "The era in which I am, then the one after that, and then the one after that."
